Hi,

Photos can be very deceptive. Having been up close and personal with all the Air Anglia fleet aircraft I can assure you it is blue. Here ius a pic of a first day cover that was for sale and the colour scheme has been accentuated to a much paler blue.

Timetable images also show a more accentuated blue.

This later became the very 70s scheme of dark chocolate brown/yellow/white ——————————-I can assure you that is brown, not blue.

Hi WebPilot,

Sorry to have to inform you but the Air Anglia scheme was blue. It occasionally gets mistaken as black as it is a very dark midnight/inky blue but I’ve never heard it described as brown before. The first aircraft to have the scheme applied to was the F.27. It was also on the Herald, F.28, Argosy (sort of) and Navajo Chieftains.
